Start sahi proxy (dashboard) from java environment

aak_pol

We would like to start Sahi dashboard from within our Java code to integrate sahi with our existing test automation framework.

I found that I can call Dashboard.main() method from the Java code which will start the dashboard but it requires two arguments passed to it. These are "Sahi Home" and "Sahi User Data Dir".
Rather than using the whole directories, I want to know, which files are required to start the Sahi dashboard so that I can keep the Sahi folder to the minimum size.

So my question is-
What exact files and folders are required to start sahi dashboard using Dashboard.main(...) method.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi aak_pol,

Please look in to windows batch commands which starts Sahi,

set SAHI_HOME=C:\user\sahi

set SAHI_USERDATA_DIR_TMP =%SAHI_HOME%\userdata

set SAHI_CLASS_PATH=%SAHI_HOME%\lib\sahi.jar;%SAHI_HOME%\extlib\rhino\js.jar;%SAHI_HOME%\extlib\apc\commons-codec-1.3.jar;%SAHI_HOME%\extlib\db\h2.jar;%SAHI_HOME%\extlib\license\truelicense.jar;%SAHI_HOME%\extlib\license\truexml.jar;

java -classpath %SAHI_CLASS_PATH% net.sf.sahi.ui.Dashboard "%SAHI_HOME%" "%SAHI_USERDATA_DIR_TMP%"

In the above example, we are considering that Sahi is installed at "C:\user\sahi"

For the same purpose I am using this java code:

            Boolean vb = false;
            Configuration.initJava(Const.SAHI_BASE, Const.USER_DATA_DIRECTORY); 
            prx = new Proxy(9999);
            prx.start(true);
            int wait = 0;
            while((!vb)&& (wait<30)){
              if(prx.isRunning()) {
                vb = true;
              }
              else
              {
                wait++;
                Thread.sleep(1000);
              }
            }
            if(vb) {
              System.out.println("Sahi is running");
            }
            else{
              System.out.println("Sahi is NOT running, or it was manually started");
            }

Apparently this starts the proxy for sahi, but I have a big problem. I cannot check if the proxy server is already started. isRunning() method returns false even if I see in the console "ERROR: Port 9999 is already being used".

How can I bypass this? The easiest way would be that proxy. start() would return an int or boolean instead of void.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thnak you

Hi john_qa,

There are chances that there are other instance of Sahi running and which is using port 9999.

So could you please close all instance of Sahi and check ?

That is exactly the ideea. I know there are other instances, because that was the case I was trying to check.

Basically I want my tests to start a proxy if another is not already started, or use the existing started proxy if exists. How can I check this?

Is there a way to kill the existing proxy process? What is his name in tasklist?

Thanks

Hi john_qa,

Have a look at :

Let me know if this solves your issue.

Hi,

Thank you for the answers.

The good news is that is OK to use a bat file to stop the already running proxy, but I find this a little awkward and not very elegant.

The bad news is that proxy.stop() doesn't work for an existing running proxy.
